Computational thermal, chemical, fluid, and solid mechanics for geosystems management.

Abstract

This document summarizes research performed under the SNL LDRD entitled -Computational Mechanics for Geosystems Management to Support the Energy and Natural Resources Mission.‖ The main accomplishment was development of a foundational SNL capability for computational thermal, chemical, fluid, and solid mechanics analysis of geosystems. The code was developed within the SNL Sierra software system. This report summarizes the capabilities of the simulation code and the supporting research and development conducted under this LDRD. 4
